U.S. President Barack Obama said on Friday he wished he had come home from Copenhagen with "better news" than Chicago's failure to win its Olympics bid but congratulated Rio de Janeiro for securing the 2016 Games, Reuters reported.
"You can play a great game and still not win," Obama told reporters at the White House after being rebuffed in his effort before the International Olympic Committee to secure the Olympics for his adopted hometown.
